TW : Anxiety
Hi everyone, this post is the reason why I downloaded this app, I wish I can find help or some type of guidence. I’m 25 and wil shortly be 26. I graduated last yearwith a very high GPA. I did pretty well in university so what’s expected for me is to find a good job. But the thing is that I’m so so so anxious about the interviews and the job itself.
To the point that I’m so anxious about taking public transportation, my dad always drive me wherever I wanna go and I don’t go out that much. I don’t have friends, all of them are online friends. I uad real life friends but some of them are studying/ working abroad while I’m left here.
I’m so worried about going out alone, I never did it for a long while.
Also my family finincial state is not good. My dad works +16 hours to get us food, money and that breaks my heart. I wanna help him and I wanna be a good role model to my younger siblings since I’m the oldest one.
I wish I can follow a plan to break out of my comfort zone, I want real steps.
Everyone shames tf out of me, like: ” why tf you’re home all the time? Do you like being like that? We expected you to find a job. Why don’t you help your dad?” Imagine hearing all of this whenever I meet someone I know! It exhaust the shit out of me.
Also I don’t have love life, or friends to be around, I don’t have money to go out or to buy fun things. Life is kinda hard, I wanna grow and heal from this anxiety. Guys in very short sentence I feel like I’m still living in quarantine like 2020, I never go out or anything.
Also I never went to therapy so this reddit is my only place for asking help. Thank you so much for reading

Gradual exposure to social situations will help, try to get jobs that don’t require alot of interaction with others at first and take small steps, try getting psychiatric help if possible,some medications are really helpful under medical guidance too
It requires alot of effort but is doable
